Hasn’t the psychiatric booth always been five cents? Is this new? Updated for post-COVID inflation? Or did I miss something else?
https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Lucy%27s_psychiatry_booth talks about it being seven cents for legal help, but this isn’t that.
With the snowman involved, I’d’ve guessed prices would be frozen! <boom-tish>

…and that’s about it. Thanks to Dirk the Daring for sending.
P.S. Why is the soccer ball shaped like a rugby ball?
Shouldn’t there be some water somewhere? That seems like the really dangerous part…
I don’t use webthings that include photo filters, but I’ve seen the results, so I’m willing to believe that they can be used to morph her original picture into that horrific result. And I think I get the #NoFilter tag joke–there’s ONE filter she’s not using. But the progression of images doesn’t seem to support that: if the last one was lacking the flowers, then it would make sense.
Or am I missing something else??
OK, I get that the flying monkey has perhaps pooped on the car, but mutiny? And is this the witch who’s hydrophobic? Can never remember which witch is which.

He notes, “If you watch closely, the lip synch (particularly for the piano playing) has a few misses in it” and that another, actually live performance is better in that regard:
As noted previously, Flashbacks ended on 2022-09-25. Since the strip is not widely distributed and generally not on the web, here’s the final iteration.
Not sure how many readers are familiar with Patrick Reynolds’ Flashbacks strip. It appears on the comics pages but isn’t funny (deliberately, unlike The Family Circus): it’s a Sunday strip about historical events that’s been running, mostly in The Washington Post, for 31 years. He hasn’t put it on the web, further reducing its exposure.
It has provided a fascinating look into sometimes-small, sometimes-large bits of history, and is ending this Sunday, September 25, 2022. It will be missed by those of us who saw it every week, but at 79, I’m sure everyone would agree that Mr. Reynolds deserves the time off!
For his last five strips, he’s been running stories in which he had some personal involvement. We’re running the first four below, and will add the fifth once it comes out; it seemed better to run this now, so anyone who was vaguely aware of the strip would have a chance to see it “in the flesh” one last time.
You can find more about the end of Flashbacks here, and this is Mr. Reynolds’ home page, including links to his books.
The final strips are below. Alas, I missed scanning the first two. I got the first one from the article linked above; the second I got directly from Mr. Reynolds, hence the super-high quality!
OK, there’s a bunch of punctuation, and a knife, and…huh? Hovertext says “We can still fight; it’s not too late.” but that doesn’t help me at all.
